An excellent book which i am sure will help many others embarking on the road to Obserbvability. There is a lot of details included in here which may scare some off but i am sure it will help many organisations. To me Monitoring is telling me when something is broken and Observavbility is identifying both the cause and the impact quickly from the monitoring issue, this guide will help the understanding of this.

Observability is one of my favorite topics. I've lectured, written, and delivered conference talks on how observability is important and why it needs to be one of the first steps in DevOps. Here, the author does a great job in setting out some of the basic principles and then offering the ways he made it succeed. One of the biggest challenges is making sure that the teams are aligned between basic program management skills, and those items necessary to DevOps success. A great read.

I am immensely proud and overwhelmed with Manisha and Karun in having achieved the accuracy, simplicity and yet covering key details of "What, How and When" of Observability,making it so relatable for every IT enthusiast through their book. I am witness not only of both the authors' hardwork and research in the field of monitoring and Observability but also of their experience of handling real world challenges of Business complexities and yet standing tall by overcoming all the barriers through sustainable, reliable and valued solutions delivered to the customers. This enriched experience of theirs is what I see as a glaring reflection in the book, which will pave a way for many Engineers to adapt to Observability in real terms to enhance their relevant business value. The book is indeed a step-by-step guide for anyone to RELATE, ALIGN and EXPLORE ways to bring ON Observability !!! I recommend this book as a must have for all Engineers, when we want to build robust systems. Well done Manisha and Karun, both of you have aced it in the first shot as authors.
